As snow blankets our community, your local fire department has an important safety reminder. Take a moment to clear snow from any fire hydrants near your home or business. Here's why it matters: in a fire emergency, time is everything. Today's homes can become fully engulfed in flames in as little as three to five minutes. When firefighters arrive on scene, they need immediate access to water to save lives and property. If crews must dig out a buried hydrant, those critical minutes could mean the difference between a small fire and total loss. You can help. Clear a three-foot radius around nearby hydrants. Adopt a hydrant in your neighborhood. Make it visible, make it accessible, and help keep everyone safe this winter. For more information, contact your local fire department. Together, we can protect our community.
